This study will determine the outcomes of anatomic lung resections in patients who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease by describing the morbidity and mortality as well as the length of postoperative hospital stay.
This study will be conducted at the Lung Center of the Philippines. The study design is a retrospective case series implemented via chart review. Online and written patient records will be reviewed to determine the baseline patient characteristics and the preoperative outcomes. Patients who recovered from COVID-19 will be selected from those who underwent anatomic lung resection from June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2022. This study will be done in accordance with the Helsinky Declaration and Good Clinical Practice Guidelines, and will be subject for approval of the institutional Ethics and Technical Review Boards. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes.
